Lyrics:

The shaman came a-calling, he was howling at the moon
He offered me a vision on the end of a silver spoon
He said he'd give me dreams that all were in his powers
If only I would follow him, the universe was ours
Walked a thin white line to the coffin club
Downstairs from the devil's den
Had a large double Jesus chased down with a shot of Zen
The last thing I remember was lying in the tank
And when I came around again, everything was blank
Floating high above the world out on the astral plane
I'm bouncing like a pinball, he's busy being born again
I met God on Primrose Hill, that's where he came to me
Stepped out of his saucer and I got down on my knees
From his lips came just one word, he left me all aglow
I sat down and had a smoke and watched the flowers grow
The bats are in the belfry and the bubbles in the bong
The secret of the universe is hidden in this song

Shaman left a-crawling as the dawn broke the gloom
Talking in some other tongue and laughing like a loon
The early morning sunlight splashed colours on the wall
And I don't know if it ever really happened at all
The bats are in the belfry and the bubbles in the bong
The molecules inside my head are chiming like a gong
The bats are in the belfry and the bubbles in the bong
The secret of the universe is hidden in this song
